What is Anti Gliadin IgA?
This blood test detects IgA antibodies against gliadin, a protein found in gluten. It is commonly used as an initial screening tool to identify individuals who may have celiac disease.
Why is this test important?
Elevated levels of these antibodies can suggest an immune reaction to gluten, which is characteristic of celiac disease. This test helps identify individuals who may need further diagnostic evaluation for this autoimmune condition, especially if they experience digestive symptoms.
How to Prepare
It's important to be consuming a gluten-containing diet for several weeks before the test for accurate results. Do not start a gluten-free diet before the test unless specifically advised by your doctor.
